Maybe they can fry some peeking duck.
I used to teach in Jamaica many moons ago, and the students would begin practically every sentence with a reference to Yemen (e.g., “Yemen, da sun is bright today fo sure”).
Once during one of my more impish phases, I took some time out of my business lecture to provide basic information to the class on Yemen, so that they would know what they were talking about. They probably still swap stories about the crazy American who thought they were talkin’ ‘bout Yemen when they said Yemen.
The Navy killed the railgun program, unfortunately.
They’ll be installing them on the next Ford Class Aircraft carrier.

The Navy has turned into a sad joke from the truly formidable force it once was.
Were any sharks harmed during the making of this demonstration?
Somali pirates, beware!
